Would you be willing to speak more about your disability, evaluations, and your day-to-day? I’d also be curious as to your evaluations, and whether or not you’ve appealed via the ADA?
One issue: sharing my results was not great. Pasting in iMessage gave the result text and the image; pasting in discord only gave the text; pasting in telegram only gave the image.
Not sure if this is even your fault, but it doesn’t have as nice of an experience there as Wordle (which I assume you’re trying to emulate).
How do you account for confounding variables? For example, unseen or alternative methods of communication e.g. body language like bobbing, or clicking their beaks? Or even the tonality of the squawking? Whistling?
It seems like you might still get meaningful results for some of your questions, but also that the behavior of the birds could be far more complex than foreseen, and maybe even missed entirely.
I’m not familiar with the “Unix Fundamentals” class (got a link?) but when I have interns I make the “missing semester”[1] course part of their onboarding. I find it’s a nice balance of pragmatism and the classroom structure they are already familiar with.
I will also note that I think skills like this end up being way more valuable to me as a mentor than hard CS knowledge.
Would also be interested in this topic. I’ve been a dev for some years now but I have always wanted to lean more into the scientific/research side of things and no idea what that path looks like or how to get there. Ultimately I’d like to end up at a lab of some sort or in a “hybrid” area like space.
So far the only ideas I’ve come across are the standard “do some related project for resume purposes and then apply to anywhere/everywhere until it works” or “go back to school for a 2nd/more relevant degree and try again”
Neither of which is particularly practical for me, but perhaps this is the way.
You may enjoy the audiobook versions of the Dirk Gently series, which are fully scripted and voice acted like a radio play. It was a really fun experience, and very well acted!
Ctrl-a and ctrl-e will go to the beginning and end of a line respectively in most places on Mac. There are many of the “standard” Linux/unix keybinds available for most apps.
If you're on Mac, there's a nifty free app for keeping your computer from sleeping called Amphetamine, which can move your mouse for you at a set interval.
It's pretty ridiculous there's no setting in Teams to disable that, and I really hope no one is monitoring those status icons so closely.
43" seems rather large--how far away do you sit? If it were as close as a more "normal" sized monitor (~2-3 feet), wouldn't you be craning your neck all day trying to see different parts of the screen?
Seems like something I have been looking for. I am currently using a combination of Daylio and a random counting app I found on iOS to track myself on some habits, but this looks like a better solution.
Since when do 2 people and a dog need a 5 bedroom house? And does that really only qualify as “decent”? Especially 3 years out of school...
In any case OP was just trying to point out the entitlement that gets instilled, and how it can be particularly blinding when you’re wrapped up in your own decadent lifestyle. It’s a very common trait among people in the valley, in my experience.
Maybe you can start from a different angle. It might sound odd, but try taking a simple concept that you know, say calculating a restaurant tip or something and write it out in English + LaTeX. Build on this until you can do some more complicated problems, and soon I would bet you’ll read math as something a bit closer to code in your head. I had to do this a lot for classes in college, and forcing yourself into exposition is the math equivalent of rubber ducky programming. LaTeX will give you a feel somewhere between math and code that might feel a bit more natural.
That’s all well and good but despite your indignation you haven’t actually explained what it means to market to children. Maybe I accept your premise that marketeers know how to single out specific demographics, but I don’t work in marketing so I have no idea what separates “marketing at children” versus just marketing in general.
I attended a tech resume workshop recently and the recruiters there said they would absolutely discard resumes with photos (and other overly personal info) on them due to bias, and were instructed to do so by their employers. Interesting, but understandable.
I do wonder how that reconciles with all the social media around though considering the main way recruiters reach out to me is LinkedIn.
